"Reorganize the attack, don't panic. www.biquge.info"Seeing this, the squadron leader of a dive bomber said to his team members over the radio. If this continues, it will only cause more and more losses of carrier-based aircraft in the Imperial Navy, but it will not be able to achieve results.

"Team 3, follow me to drop the bomb, and after I drop the bomb, everyone is allowed to drop the bomb." The squadron leader ordered.

Immediately he personally piloted the plane, with four dive bombers, and launched an attack on the cruiser "St. Louis". They launched an attack at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and the planes attacked the cruiser "St. Louis" at a vertical angle of almost 90 degrees. After the altimeter showed 500 meters, the squadron leader did not start dropping bombs until the altitude had dropped to 400 meters.

The four dive bombers that followed behind the squadron leader also dropped bombs at this height. Immediately after the bomb was dropped, the dive bomber pulled up and changed the dive course. Even then, they almost crashed into the towering mast of the cruiser St. Louis.

However, the effect of this bomb is indeed very good. Of the five heavy aerial bombs, three hit the cruiser USS St. Louis. Three bombs, which inflicted heavy damage on the cruiser "St. Louis". Not only was the fire ablaze, but even the speed of the ship was affected.

At this time, a small group of torpedo attack planes seized the opportunity to launch another attack on the cruiser "St. Louis", and they also risked being hit by the anti-aircraft fire of the cruiser "St. Louis" and dropped torpedoes at a distance of 300 meters from the cruiser "St. Louis." Although, while pulling up after dropping the bomb, a torpedo attack aircraft was hit by an anti-aircraft gun and crashed into the sea. However, the dropped torpedo accurately hit the cruiser "St. Louis".

Two of the four torpedoes hit, blowing two large holes in the side of the cruiser 'St. Louis'. The sea rushed into the battleship frantically, causing it to tilt. While the sailors on the battleship were busy controlling losses, naturally no one went to air defense anymore.

At this time, the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy attacked again, and the cruiser "St. Louis" was once again hit by two aerial bombs and two torpedoes, and capsized directly on the surface of the sea, like a dead fish.

The cruiser "St. Louis" was sunk, and it was only a matter of time. What's more, the imminent sinking of the USS St. Louis directly deprived of almost half of the anti-aircraft firepower of the USS Hornet. The carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy could take the opportunity to launch an attack on the USS Hornet from this direction. Although the USS Hornet has eight 127-mm high-level guns, four quadruple 30-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 24 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns. However, in the eyes of the pilots of carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy, such anti-aircraft fire was nothing at all. They could have taken the opportunity to attack.

"There are also fighters with bombs and torpedoes, to attack. Fighters provide cover. Brigadier General Liu Tingsheng ordered.

After the previous fierce fighting, many carrier-based planes had already dropped bombs and torpedoes and returned home, and the number of fighters hovering on the battlefield was no longer numbered. At the moment, there are also dive bombers with aerial bombs, and there are only 12 of them. There are also torpedo attack aircraft for torpedoes, and there are only eight of them. These fighters, under the cover of fighters, launched an attack on the aircraft carrier HMS Hornet.

Four dive bombers were the first to attack the USS Hornet, diving down from a high altitude, their wing sounders emitting a high-pitched shrill whistling sound under the disturbance of the air.

"Damn, the attack of the Chinese is coming, quickly evade it." Brigadier General Spruance shouted.

Although, in his heart, he already knew that this time they were probably doomed. However, there is still a trace of luck in my heart, hoping to escape this catastrophe. After the sinking of the USS Wasp, the USS Hornet became the only aircraft carrier in the US Navy. Spruance still very much hopes that these aircraft carriers will escape.

The USS Hornet, with a displacement of 25,000 tons, immediately began to turn its rudder in an attempt to avoid the aerial bombs falling from the sky. It's just that the wide aviation deck has undoubtedly become the focus of the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft attacks.

"Boom!" A 500-kilogram aerial bomb accurately hit the flight deck of the USS Hornet. Heavy aerial bombs, which directly penetrated the flight deck, exploded inside the aircraft carrier.

I saw that the flight deck of the USS Hornet suddenly arched high upwards and then exploded. After the destruction of the flight deck, the aircraft carrier has lost the ability to take off and land carrier-based aircraft, and naturally loses its combat effectiveness.

Of course, the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy naturally did not let him go just because the aircraft carrier "Hornet" lost its combat effectiveness. Only the sinking of this aircraft carrier will make it completely unthreatening. Otherwise, the blown up flight deck could easily be repaired.

Eight torpedo planes and the remaining eight dive bombers launched another attack on the USS Hornet. Although the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the USS Hornet were still firing wildly, two Imperial Navy carrier-based aircraft were also shot down. However, it did not prevent the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy from hitting the aircraft carrier USS Hornet.

Four heavy aerial bombs and four torpedoes, which hit the aircraft carrier USS Hornet. The entire flight deck was already in shambles, and even the ship island was blown up. Four torpedoes blew four large holes in the port side of the USS Hornet. The sea is pouring into the USS Hornet, causing the hull to tilt.

"Immediately plug the hole and pump out the seawater that enters the hull. Otherwise, we're all doomed. The damage management officer on the USS Hornet roared loudly.

Although, the aircraft carrier "Hornet" was very badly damaged and has lost its combat effectiveness. The motivation has also been greatly affected, like a dead fish, struggling on the surface of the sea.

However, the USS Hornet is undoubtedly a long way from sinking. If you want to sink this aircraft carrier, I'm afraid you need to continue the attack.

It's just that these carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy have already dropped all the bombs and torpedoes. Only some cannon shells and aviation machine gun bullets remained. It is obviously impossible to sink an aircraft carrier with cannon shells and bullets from aviation machine guns.

"Who has a bomb or a torpedo?" Brigadier General Liu Tingsheng asked.

However, he was answered by silence. Obviously, in the previous attack, everyone had used up all the bombs and torpedoes.

"Hell! Prepare to return home, go back and re-hang the bombs, and attack again. Brigadier General Liu Tingsheng ordered.

On the USS Hornet, Commodore Spruance couldn't help but smile when he saw the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft that were returning.

"Great, we withstood the attack of the Chinese. Immediately turn around, go to the shipyard in New Zealand, close the hole, and return to the United States. Brigadier General Spruance ordered. In this way, they can bring the USS Hornet back to the United States, repair it, and continue to fight.

The other US officers and men aboard the USS Hornet also cheered. In the previous fierce attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy, they all thought that they would definitely die. I didn't expect that now I would be in a desperate situation again.

It's just that these Americans seem to be rejoicing too soon. From the northeastern sky, a large group of carrier-based aircraft is flying. These are carrier-based aircraft taking off from the 11th and 12th carrier strike groups of the Imperial Navy. Including 48 fighters, 48 dive bombers and 48 torpedo attack aircraft.

"General Liu, thank you for your selfless dedication, and you actually left us an aircraft carrier. We laughed it off. The voice of the Wing Commander of the 11th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing of the Imperial Navy was heard in the headphones of the pilots of the Imperial Navy.

"Dogs, you're actually here to pick up the bargain." Brigadier General Liu Tingsheng couldn't help but scold. They have already damaged the USS Hornet, and have almost wiped out the opposing escort ships. Now that the 11th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing and the 12th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing have arrived, they can reap these results without much effort! It's just infuriating.

The pilots of several other carrier-based air wings of the Imperial Navy also scolded one after another. The people of the 11th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing and the 12th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing were scolded for picking up bargains.

However, the pilots of the 11th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing and the 12th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing turned a deaf ear and rushed directly to the US warships and began to prepare for an attack.

"It's over, it's completely over." Brigadier General Spruance couldn't help but turn pale as he looked at the large number of carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy under the pressure of black. Almost all the officers and men of the U.S. Navy have such expressions. They all knew very well that this time they were doomed.

"Damn! How could the Chinese still send such a small number of carrier-based aircraft. "Spruance was very reluctant to believe what was in front of him. However, facts are facts, and this cannot be changed.

"Attention squadrons, one squadron of dive bombers and one squadron of torpedo attack aircraft attack the USS Hornet, and the rest of the carrier-based aircraft attack other warships, and not a single battleship should be spared." The Wing Commander of the 11th Carrier-Based Aircraft Wing ordered. (To be continued.) )
